ravinat Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 I use both Affinity Designer and Photo and I tried to create a greeting for the Tamil festival Pongal with Affinity Designer. I am a writer in Tamil and use the truetype font called 'Latha' for most of my writing. I also have another truetype font called 'Vijaya'. When I tried to type the word 'Pongal' in Tamil in both these fonts, it has problems rendering it, both in Designer and Photo. I went through Designer's character options and tried to change quite a few of those parameters and still do not seem to solve the problem. The sound 'Po' is a single letter in Tamil but appears like three English alphabets - While all other Windows tools render these three characters (extended ASCII) properly, Affinity interchanges the second and third character. I have attached an image that shows the wrong Affinity versions. Let me know, if there is a workaround for this. The below is the wrong representation by Affinity. பொங்கல்The above is the right representation of the word Pongal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
